Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

[neptune2000]

Is anyone building anything similar to The Law - Front License Plate Bracket for Model S and X from Torklift Central, but for the Model 3?

I love the one for my Model S:

The Law - Tesla Model S Front License Plate Bracket-Aluminum (Auto Pilot Compatible) X7283

I actually am working on a DIY one made of polycarbonate. It's a little bit tricky since there isn't much room and the grill is actually curved. On my 3rd revision & will test fit soon

 

[TonyPham]

Needs some revisions and fitting...

 

[SpeedyEddy]

Nice job, but will it be strong enough at the joints (screws influencing integrity) and did you use UV-proof polycarbonate?
Eager to see it mounted

Don't you dare put a front license plate on the Model 3. Doing so is a crime against humanity.

Hold on a minute. Is there no real plan to allow for front plate attachment? On my S, they gave me the option of mounting my front plate and did so during my pick-up visit. I assumed the same would be true for the 3.

 

[clmason]

Yes, they do provide a front plate mount.

I'm just using some scrap polycarb, this is purely a prototype for test-fitting! Thanks for the UV-Proof Polycarbonate tip!

It came with a Peel-N-Stick, which I didn't really like that much

Perfectly understood! But I think it's a requirement in some states

 

[c1916]

As an Illinoisan, I'm very familiar with the requirement. Seems like a really simple thing that they should have been able to provide as an accommodation.

 

[SpeedyEddy]

This one lowers the plate to the grill-level , leaving the nose as-designed, instead of the standard mount, ruining the typical view. In Holland frontplate is obligatory.

 

[TonyPham]

There should have been a couple of pre-threaded holes to mount.

sorry to bring this thread up... but now that cars are heading to NY... including mine in a week... any non drill options but 3m tape?

 

[Snow Drift]

I’m pretty sure it’s tape, not drilled. It attaches under the bumper (in the grille opening) and uses tape to stick to the bumper outside.

My front plate frame is still in my trunk (no tags yet) - it uses tape only to attach to the bumper, pretty strong tape is my guess

 

[zooooooom]

someone has to make a front plate bracket... does anyone know of one... someone has to be riding with a front plate

The Law - Front License Plate Bracket for Tesla Model S. ???

 

[TonyPham]

I posted this on anther thread, but here it is mounted. Already working on another revision that has a 7.8 degree tilt to make it vertical & moved up about 5" to clear the grill.

 

[TonyPham]

This revision seems to fit alot better. A few minor adjustments to do..

Tony, are you possibly going to make some of these to sell? I prefer this over tape or holes in the bumper.
